Edward Enninful On His Role As Editor

ByScarlett Conlon

"I'm just so pleased I'm not a young woman now," she said. "I feel very grateful that, at the time I started having sex with men, I didn't even have a bikini wax and men were lovely. Now I just think: how terrifying to be a 20-year-old and feel that you've got to be perfect and hairless and immaculate and that it's really awful. I would never have got undressed."

Shulman, who elaborates on her attitude to the skinny models debate and her opinions about maternity leave within the interview,also spoke of the Vogue's ethos when it comes to maintaining editorial control.

"Somebody like Jennifer Aniston will only do an interview with copy approval and picture approval," she explained. "I've never had anybody on the cover, ever, who's had copy approval and picture approval. I just don't think it's a proper thing if you do. It's this thing of people just basically treating you as if you're bound to be doing something that is in some way going to be insulting to their client. I just find that so offensive."
